RateMyProfessors

When you enter https :// , it becomes safe. Ads starts up that makes the site insecure. Too much errors with annoying ads when try to find professors for decent classes. Site the is garbage.

I have written and rewritten my review of a certain professor numerous times. Each time the "moderation team" does NOT add my review to the professor's rating page. My review does not say anything nasty, only the truth about this professors teaching style, class requirements and the fact that she goes on endless rants about her Marxist and socialist views that you can not debate her on because she will shut you down quickly. I am an adult learner and this class was pure indoctrination of young minds. As an adult I can see right through this professor's agenda. I was horrified and disgusted that the school's (Middlesex Community College, Bedford, MA) Dean brushed off my concerns. I am very concerned for our youth.

On a side note, I received an A in the class. My review has nothing to do with her grading style but her teaching style and aggressive assault on today's society and her incessant need to drill her political and Marxist views into her student's minds.

The site has built-in biases:

1. Bad ratings must be substantiated with examples or they get thrown out, whereas good ones never need supporting evidence. Double standards?

I know of teachers that regularly work on getting their bad reviews removed, AND some that write fake student reviews for themselves.

2. Comments about preferential treatment get thrown out. I feel that as long as I tell the truth, it should not be censored.

3. Very limited word count (max 350 characters). You can't even finish a proper story.

Other than these, I found the general depictions of professors quite spot on.

No way to gauge which reviews are genuinely fair;; if you use the site to choose classes you may miss out on an excellent learning experience;; students most likely to review—those who easily got a desirable score or those who seek to blame the prof for their own lack luster attempt to pass a moderately difficult course;; should be taken down;;

I say this and have a 4.3 rating on the site;;

Students can now grade the teachers. Did your professor make the cut? Don't get stuck with a bad apple anymore. Having a bad teacher should be a thing of the past. This site is very helpful to find out if it is worth the money and time to take a class with a specific instructor. Professors are graded on a number of criteria, primarily overall quality of teaching and level of difficulty. In addition you can select three tags as individual options as to whether she/he is heavy on textbooks, requires class participation or is maybe laid back and cool. One major option that was eliminated was the controversial hotness rating. In the past you were able to grade the instructor on attractive appearance. Sad to see it gone but maybe it's for the best.

Troll City. Would give 0 stars if possible.
This site is simply a place for poor-performing or vengeful students to anonymously attack the character of a professor. About 5% of the ratings have anything useful to. Say. It's worse than Yelp and full of imposters, as well.
Rate a Prof gennerates 2.4-3 million is profits every year by allowing. People to. Vent online. They use. The real names of real people, but hide themselves. We had a professor commit suicide after reading their ratings on this site.

This site allows students to say whatever they want about professors without providing evidence that the information shared is true. When truthful evidence is offered it is dismissed by reviewers. This site has no actual value but to provide an outlet to judge others.

This site is terrible. In a time where universitiites are using online reviews in their hiring and promoting process, websites like this are damaging. They do no follow-up or verification to ensure someone is not simply creating multiple accounts and leaving bad reviews. They allow people to leave reviews on a professor for courses that do not exist. This company purports to "help" students but all they are interested in is advertising dollars. But hey what can you expect from a site that lets you rate your professor's "hotness". This site is a joke.

I have seen a disgruntled student submit 3 reviews changing the wording only slightly which definite intent to harm a professor who held her accountable for late assignments, poor work and plagiarism. RateMyProfessors LLC just blindly published this misinformation. The professor does not even work at the institution under which this information is published. This is very similar to encouraging and spewing out hatred. RateMyProfessor LLC needs to be held accountable.

This site has successfully helped me pick good professors throughout my 3 years at Chico State. The site is biased in the sense that reviewers usually either love or hate a teacher with little in between. I have found that the more good reviews there are, the better the teacher is. The site is also helpful in understanding the structure of classes since many reviewers include that. I believe this site could be improved with the increase of reviews and this would lessen the slight bias. Either way, it is the only place to go if you don't know what professor to choose when enrolling in classes. I will continue to use it for my next two semesters and I am grateful I have had access to it in the past.

It is literally impossible to create a new account to post reviews. The whole $#*!ing point of making an account is to review a professor, but I have tried for hours and hours to create a new account to post a review of my professors (all of which are very positive, by the way). But no matter how hard I try, this website will not allow me to create an account to do so with. They can't even send a verification email to my address. Which literally any other garbage website is capable of doing. RateMyProfessor is literally less than proficient, whoever programmed this site is an absolute $#*!ing moron. Do NOT waste your time with this website, you are far, far, far better off simply telling your friends who they should/shouldn't take classes with.

A superficial rating site that doesn't genuinely take in account the quality of the class or teacher. Example if a teacher sexual harass a student or eats in class, the site will still give high rating as long as they have the minimum of Easiness/Helpfulness/Clarity/Rater Interest. Apparently integrity is not factor at the site.

It is also easy for teacher not to take accountability. I notice teachers with consistent bad reviews over months or years seem to have them magically filter out or disappeared. This defeats the purpose of the site, or honest recommendations. This is disservice to student or really hard working teachers who earned their score.
